This was mentioned after the last update–the map on the cache page. Used to be you could click it and it would show nearby caches. Then after the update, you could right click and open in new tab or window. Now you can’t do either. I have clicked on nearby caches, but it shows them as a list. Anyone know the easy way to view them on a map?

Under the map section to the left of the actual map, pick the “Geocaching.com Google Map” option and you’ll get the same functionality as before. I liked clicking the map better, but I also noticed the additional WP’s are now displayed on this map as well. Here’s an example: Mascoutin Valley Trail – Mile Marker #5

Thank you!! I’m glad I asked.

They’re still switching stuff around. I can click on some of the maps and get the “view nearby caches” to come up. Others, nothing happens. And the home page just changed again. The search stuff is squished on the right now, and it was just in the middle. Guess GC is just keeping us on our toes.

I think the ‘satelite’ option on the cache page map is interesting. I zoomed in to one of our WSQs and GZ is in a row of pines. You can actually see which tree, as well as which SIDE of the tree, the container is on. If it wasn’t a micro, you would almost see the container!

This should make Muggle B’s GPSless life easier! 😉

They put up that same satellite photo for every WSQ cache. “It’s in the cedar tree.” 😉

As long as the cache isn’t in the 100 acre woods.

Somewhere in the last xyz days they snuck the Found count back on the My Friends page.

Like how they re-org’d the geocaches tab on the public profile page too.

Ooohh. Back up and now to start searching out the updates! I’ll cheat and go to the forums

Goodbye Facebook “Like”. Hello dipping trackables and built in HTML editor on trackable pages. W00t!

The “Like” button is gone? Great! That was one of GC’s dumber moves… Need to check out the rest of the changes…

Dipping trackables is so awesome

Think the update broke the WGA log harvester again…

I thought something didn’t seem quite right about that

It also looks like you can now dip trackables in Earthcaches which wasn’t possible before.

Works perfect. Just as one would expect.
